I recently updated my home/work PC from vista to 7. Stupid idea.... CD/DVD Burner disappears and the SD card reader doesnt work now. Pretty effin stupid for an "upgrade". Its windows 7 thats the problem!
You might just need to update the chipset drivers. You will need to find the name/number of the chipset and then find the most recent stable update. Install it, then find similar dated drivers for video, networking, and sound.
I've found the above always to be a good thing to do when faced with weird, off the wall problems in Windows.
also,
1) Open an elevated command prompt. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
2) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
3) At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannow
4) Let it finish, restart, see what happens.
